Nice DP 20 here. The Playin' opener isn't quite epic, but this wheel is! Jerry starts with a cool little riff that just gets this perfect wheel goin

Hidden gem here. This could be top 20 if anyone listened to this obscure show.

"Spanish lady come to me." Love this Spanish O1.
Standing On The Moon

Pyramid Arena

Yes, the voice isn't perfect, but what does it for me...he reprises "be with u" not once but twice and maybe the ragged voice even add to it. Also, the final jam with reprises is quite long. Jer is great in the jam, but Bob adds some serious power riffs that really drive this version home, too.

Beast almost 14 minute Foolish. This was best run of 1995.
